IMPROVE!) TOILET-MIRROR.

The Schedule referred to :ln these Letters Patent and-making part of the same.

' toilet-mirror.

Figure 2 is a vertical transverse section of the same,

taken on the plane of the line a; st, g. 1.

Figure 3 is an edge view of the same.`

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts." This invention relates to a new toilet-mirror, of that class in which a portion can be swung out, to reflect, into the main mirror, the reverse of the gure placed between the two; land The invention consists in a novel manner of connecting the Amain with the reecting-mirror, whereby the latter can be swung any desired distance from the main mirror, and turned in any desired direction, or placed above the main mirror, as may -be required.

The reflecting-mirror is swivelled to a jointed rod, which can slide in or on a bar, pivoted to the main mirror.

When the bar is in a vertical direction, the rod is let down as far as possible, andthe reiiecting-mirror will then be held vertically above the main mirror.

When, however, the bar is swung forward, the rod can be drawn out at will, and the reflecting-mirror turned in any desired direction to reect, into the main mirror, the side or back of the gure placed between them.

A, in the drawing, represents a toilet-mirror of suitable size and form, fitted' into a suitable frame, B.

To the top of this frame, is, by a hinge, a, secured a bar, O, which is slotted or tubular, or provided with guide-straps, to support a sliding, or extension-rod, D, which eanbe pushed down, as in iig. 2, or drawn out of O, as in g. 3.

To the outer end of therod D, is hinged a short plate, l E,'to which, by means of a swivel-pin, b, the reiiectingmirror F is secured.

The bar C can be swung forward in a horizontal position, as in iig. 3, or inclined,'as may be desired.

It may be provided with a suitable device to regulate the degree of inclination. The rod D is then drawn out as far as desired. y 4

The hinge c of the plate E, is so arranged, that the `#said plate may swing intoline with the rod, when the same is swung forward, as shown.

The mirror F is then suspended onthe extensiona'rm O D E, in front of the main mirror A, and can, on the swivel-pin b, be turned in any desired direction.

When the mirror F is not to be especially used, it is placed upon the main mirror,'as in figs. l and 2.

This is done by pushing the rod D as' far as possible into C, when it will reach behind the mirror A, tobrace the extension-mirror in the upright position, as in iig. 2. The plate E is swung forward to suspend the mirror F above A, as is clearly shown in the drawing.

Having thus described my invention, I claim asv new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination of the hinged bar O, sliding rod D, hinged plate E, and swivel-pin' b, for connecting a reiiecting-mirror, F, with the main mirror A, all arranged and operating substantially as herein shown and described.

The above specification of my invention signed'by me, this 6th day of February, 1869.
